Description

• CVE-2021-21222 (sandbox escape)

Heap buffer overflow in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 90.0.4430.85
allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to
bypass site isolation via a crafted HTML page.

• CVE-2021-21223 (sandbox escape)

Integer overflow in Mojo in Google Chrome prior to 90.0.4430.85 allowed
a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to
potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.

• CVE-2021-21224 (arbitrary code execution)

Type confusion in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 90.0.4430.85 allowed a
remote attacker to execute arbitrary code inside a sandbox via a
crafted HTML page. Google is aware of reports that exploits for this
issue exist in the wild.

• CVE-2021-21225 (arbitrary code execution)

Out of bounds memory access in V8 in Google Chrome prior to
90.0.4430.85 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap
corruption via a crafted HTML page.

• CVE-2021-21226 (sandbox escape)

Use after free in navigation in Google Chrome prior to 90.0.4430.85
allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to
potentially perform a sandbox escape via a crafted HTML page.

Impact

An attacker can escape the site isolation sandbox through a compromised
rendered process. In addition, an attacker can execute arbitrary code
and escape the sandbox through a crafted HTML page.
